Undeserved Whining, First Day O School, & My Elbows

Do you ever have one of those days when you just want to command the world to screech to a halt so you can get your bearings?  I mean, I could use like five minutes to walk around and figure some shit out, you know?

This past week and the next week, the following things did/will occur: I start at a new job part time, I begin attending Overeaters Anonymous meetings, Sam starts first grade, Henry starts preschool, Craig starts a new job, I start school for a second degree for a new career, we continue to hope and try for a third child, and for good measure we are also discussing the possibility/timing of moving to Indiana where my schooling would be much cheaper/Craig’s commute would be shorter/we would be closer to some extended family.

They’re all good things.  Well, maybe not my Chemistry class.  But damn man, it’s all just a lot to navigate in my brain.

Anyway.  Maybe I ought to cease complaining about how there are too many cool things going on at once.

Here’s Sam on his first day of first grade.  This kid is the bee’s knees.
